Book 1 of The Infernal Devices series

About Clockwork Angel:

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother in Victorian England, something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld. Kidnapped by mysterious Dark Sisters, who are members of a secret organization called the Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she has the power to transform at will into another person. The Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own. Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons. She soon finds herself fascinated by - and torn between - two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and Will, whose volatile moods keep everyone at arm's length. As their search draws them deep into a plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world... and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

WW28 book offering: Nightlife by Rob Thurman

Page 28, 1st Sentence:

"Four hours?" I shrugged.

Stingy line but... that's 1st sentence of page 28...

About Nightlife:

There are monsters among us. There always has been
and there always will be. I've known that since I can
remember, just like I've always known I was one...

...Well, half of one, anyway.

Welcome to the Big Apple. There's a troll under the Brooklyn
Bridge, a boggle in Central Park, and a beautiful vampire in a
penthouse on the Upper East Side---and that's only the
beginning. Of course, most humans are oblivious to the
preternatural nightlife around them, but Cal Leandros is only
half human.

His father's dark lineage is the stuff of nightmares---and he
and his entire otherworldly race are after Cal. Why? Cal
hasn't exactly wanted to stick around long enough to find out.

He and his half brother, Niko, have managed to stay a step
ahead for four years, but now Cal's dad has found them
again. And Cal is about to learn why they want him, why
they've always wanted him: He is the key to unleashing their
hell on earth. The fate of the human world will be decided in
the fight of Cal's life....

I SO WANT TO READ THIS: WHEN BLOOD CALLS

WISHLIST:
When Blood Calls by JK Beck
Book 1 of The Shadow Keepers series

About When Blood Calls:

Sara Constantine is one of the country’s most tenacious prosecuting attorneys—and she’s just secured a well-earned promotion. At first she’s thrilled. Then she finds out her new job involves prosecuting vampires and werewolves. And nothing prepares Sara for the shock she receives when she meets the first defendant she’ll be trying to put away: Lucius Dragos, the sexy stranger with whom she recently shared an explosive night of ecstasy.

When Lucius Dragos kisses the beautiful woman sitting next to him at the bar, he’s only hoping to blend into the crowd and avoid the perceptive gaze of the man he’s following…and planning to kill. But what starts as a simple kiss to secure his cover ignites into a fierce hunger that leads to an all-consuming passion. Charged with murder, Luke knows Sara will do whatever it takes to see him locked away—unless he can convince her that he’s not the monster she thinks he is. And that might mean making the greatest sacrifice a vampire can make.

WW28 book offering: The Iron Hunt by Marjorie M. Liu

Page 28, 1st Sentence:

"Afterward, she almost died."

About The Iron Hunt:

Silver smoke winds around my torso, peeling away from my ribs and back, stealing the dark mist covering my hands and lower extremeties... tattoos dissolving into demon flesh, coalescing into small dark bodies. My boys. The only friends I have in this world. Demons.

I am a demon hunter. I am a demon. I am Hunter Kiss.

By day, her tattoos are her armor. By night, they unwind from her body to take on forms of their own - demons of the flesh. This is the only family demon hunter Maxine Kiss has ever known. It's the only way to live, and the very way she'll die. For one day her demons will abandon her for her daughter to asure their own survival - leaving Maxine helpless against her enemies.

But such is the way of Earth's last protector - the only one standing between humanity and the demons breaking out from behind the prison veil. It is a life lacking in love, reveling in death, until one moment - and one man - changes everything...
